Synthesis and biological evaluation of 6,9-disubstituted purine analogues inducing autophagy-mediated apoptosis and potentiating carboplatin response in high-grade serous ovarian cancer. (PubMed, Bioorg Chem)
Molecular docking analyses suggested potential interactions with several signaling proteins, including Src, MAPK14, GSK3β, PDGFRA, and VEGFR2. Collectively, these findings identify compounds 26 and 27 as biologically active purine analogues with promising anti-HGSOC activity and support further evaluation in advanced preclinical models.

PDGFRα+/Integrin α2+ Fibroblasts Orchestrate Tumor Budding in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma via Mechano-Metabolic Symbiosis: E-Cadherin/Integrin α2β1 Adhesion and Mitochondrial Transfer. (PubMed, Adv Sci (Weinh))
Targeted inhibition of TNT-mediated mitochondrial transfer markedly suppresses TB in TBO and xenograft models. Together, our results reveal a mechano-metabolic symbiosis between PDGFRα+/integrin α2+ CAFs and OSCC cells that drives TB and provides actionable targets to block this aggressive metastatic precursor.

Diagnostic features of gastrointestinal stromal tumor: a pathological analysis of 347 biopsy cases (PubMed, Zhonghua Bing Li Xue Za Zhi)
Addressing these challenges requires​ thorough correlation with clinical and radiological findings, combined application of both immunohistochemical markers, and proactive genetic testing for cases with atypical immunohistochemical profile. These measures are crucial for improving diagnostic accuracy and guiding targeted therapies.

Anti-PDGFRα autoantibody - a novel diagnostic and prognostic marker - may mediate non-small cell lung cancer progression via the PI3K/AKT/NF-κB signaling pathway. (PubMed, Br J Cancer)
Anti-PDGFRα autoantibody is a novel biomarker for early diagnosis and poor prognosis of NSCLC. The mechanisms exploration may provide the theoretical basis for the precision treatment of NSCLC targeting anti-PDGFRα autoantibody.

An unresectable desmoid tumour demonstrating long-term complete response to imatinib monotherapy: a case report. (PubMed, J Med Case Rep)
We describe a case of complete and durable remission achieved with imatinib monotherapy in an unresectable mesenteric desmoid tumour with the patient remaining disease-free at 10 years. This case highlights the potential for long-term complete response and underscores the need for prospective data to guide treatment duration and cessation criteria.
